Saturday's Blurbs feature Books by Alana Lorens #MFRWAuthor #Pittsburgh #Suspense #Second chances

 


Romantic suspense novel CONVICTION OF THE HEART features attorney Suzanne Taylor, who raised her children as a single mother while building a successful legal practice.  She’s managed to keep herself untangled from romance for many years, putting her kids and their financial security first.

But the case of a city councilman’s battered wife brings her complications in the form of police lieutenant Nick Sansone, whose interest in her comes right when she needs a little help from outside sources. The councilman strikes out at Suzanne, Nick, and eventually, anyone he can think of who might make Suzanne back off. Will they be able to stave off the danger long enough for their love to blossom?

SECOND CHANCES begins the day attorney Inessa Regan receives a pink slip after ten years of faithful service. She’s been a mid-level associate her whole career, partners telling her what to do, providing her with an office and everything she needs. Thrown out into the legal world on her own, she doesn’t know how she’ll survive.  Her neighbor brings her first client, Kurt Lowdon, a young Iraq veteran with cancer, who’s looking just to have a will made. Inessa struggles to give Kurt what he needs, and he helps make it easy for her.

Once his immediate needs are met, he takes her under his wing and brings her more clients as well as a place to open an office to see them. Things begin to fall together for her, including a very special friendship with Kurt that becomes something more. But his past military service, and the friends he’s made there, begin to cause problems for them both, as well as issues his drug-addicted sister delivers to his doorstep. He still hasn’t kicked his cancer, either, and Inessa wonders if falling in love with him is a blessing or a curse.

Book three of the series is from The Wild Rose Press, about a Pittsburgh Lady Lawyer who is trapped in a voodoo mess in New Orleans at Mardi Gras!

When her big trial goes bad, corporate attorney Brianna Ward can’t wait to get out of Pittsburgh. The Big Easy seems like the perfect place to rest, relax, and forget about the legal business. Too bad an obnoxious—but handsome—lawyer from a rival firm is checking into the same bed and breakfast.

  Attorney Evan Farrell has Mardi Gras vacation plans too. When he encounters fiery and attractive Brianna, however, he puts the Bourbon Street party on hold. He’d much rather devote himself to her—especially when a mysterious riddle appears in her bag, seeming to threaten danger.

Strangely compelled to follow the riddle’s clues, Brianna is pulled deeper into the twisted schemes of a voodoo priest bent on revenge. To escape his poisonous web, she must work with Evan to solve the curse. But is the growing love they feel for each other real? Or just a voodoo dream?

Friday's Guest - Silvie Grayson #MFRWauthor #Law #romantic suspense #Scifi/fantasy


1          What were you in your life before you became a writer? Did this influence your writing?


I was a business person and a lawyer before I began writing full time. My husband preferred the term entrepreneur, and it feels right. We started and ran a few businesses. Then I did law school and practiced family law for a time, but ended up back in business. However, the legal knowledge has been a huge help in that type of enterprise.

This background certainly has had an impact on my writing. I love being able to use personal experience to augment the stories I write, and I always advise authors to write what they know. There’s nothing like someone doing a story on a career they know little about, leaving themselves open for a lot of criticism. I haven’t quite given up business, but spend an equal time writing.


2.                 2  Are you genre specific or general? Why? I don't mean genres like romance, mystery, fantasy etc. There are many subgenres of the above

I write romantic suspense. I began in contemporary, and love the twists that the suspense adds to a romance. Then I branched out into sci fi/ fantasy (my writer friends can’t decide if it is one or the other, so I call it both 😊 )
I usually write one contemporary, then one fantasy. It gives me a whole new perspective and I never get bored from sticking to one genre.

3. Did your reading choices have anything to do with your choice of a genre or genres? 

Absolutely. I read Neal Stephenson’s Cryptonomicon among other novels, and that sent me straight into the sci fi realm. It is a great book and woke my imagination in a really new way.

4. What's your latest release? 

My latest release is called Dead Wrong, a contemporary romantic suspense. It’s about a girl who was pushed very fast through school, and ended up in a situation she was too immature to handle. Now she’s all grown up, but the events have come back to haunt her. Tagline - When Shelley’s boyfriend disappears, never did she imagine he would come back to haunt her.

5. What are you working on now? 

Currently I’m working on Book Six of The Last War series. It doesn’t have a name yet, that usually comes later on in the process. I’ve begun the MS and am still working out the details of what happens and who is involved. But there are plenty of characters from the first books to draw on and the Emperor is out there causing chaos. Great fun.

Sunday's Book - Seducing the Attorney #MFRWauthor #romance #occupational therapy #contemporary #law

Seducing the Attorney (At First Sight Book 5)

Lauren Grant’s first meeting with Tony Carlin happened four years ago at her sister’s wedding to his older brother. There’s been an attraction but a wary one. The handsome arrogant attorney had showed disdain. At that time Lauren had been a troubled teen with streaked hair and piercings. Now, she’s working toward her Master’s in OT and has no time for more than school and her infant nephew. The death of Jamie’s parents has left Tony and Lauren as joint guardians of the baby.

Tony makes assumptions about Lauren’s current life-style. He’s as attracted to her as he was four years ago. But he’s a player and has no thought of making any commitments other than having sole custody of his nephew. He is grieving for his brother. Lauren grieves for her sister and Tony’s brother. A moment of mutual comfort sends them on a spiraling course.

Will they solve the problem of the custody and come to admit their feelings for each other?
